Description
Star Trek remains the original, iconic and, for its many fans, the best example of tv science fiction, boldly going where no tv drama had gone before. Ina Rae Hark's lively account of all five series provides a comprehensive guide to the Trek universe and its key themes, and offers new insights for even the most hardcore Trekker.
Reviews / Votes
'Hark provides an expert guide to the Trek universe, from the egos of its creators...to the most recent franchises, which inevitably fall short of the original series.' - The Guardian 'With some intriguing textual analysis and an engaging style, this is a useful addition to the canon of work that examines the show.' - Laurence Boyce, Netribution 'The ample illustrations and Hark's approachable prose make Star Trek not only accessible, but impossible to put down. This text is essential for devoted Trekkers...The perfect guide for cultural studies students, science fiction devotees, and, of course, Star Trek fans everywhere.' - Ian Randal Strock, SFScopeMore details
